I yawned, almost falling out of the tree as I stretched. I rubbed my eyes and leaned against the tree as my eyes caught the time on the small clock on the nearest building. Suddenly my heart beat faster as my nerves started to race. Not again! Hurriedly I rushed once again to where my cell was.

The wind rushed around my face as I jumped from tree limbs to tree limb, nearly cracking one from the amount of chakra I was using to speed me up. Our group was to be meeting in the cell at 8:30, and right now it was 9:00! Shaking my head, I reached the cell door and cautiously opened it, knowing that a consequence had to be coming from being late. But, as I walked in, I noticed that our sensei wasn't there. Guess I wasn't the only one late. And then I noticed that I was panting. The others groaned. I quickly walked in and closed the door behind me. Sakura scolded me for being late while Sasuke stared. My eyes slowly drifted to his, then he looked away glaring at the wall. I wanted to ask him what his problem was, but then the door opened.

"Ow!" A slightly deep, adult voice exclaimed.

I turned away from Sakura, who stopped in mid-sentence, to see our sensei. His hair was grey and all spiked up at the top. But the grey had been covered in white chalk from an, eraser. I swiftly moved to Naruto and whacked him on the head as I glared. That wasn't a very smart thing to do.

"Gotcha.." Naruto hesitantly said as he cowered under my glare. My dark blue eyes sharp, staring him down and giving him the message that that wasn't a smart move.

"Sorry sensei, I tried to stop him from putting that chalk eraser in the door wedge."

He chuckled, "I see we have a prankster." Naruto cheerfully nodded, forgetting my glare. Then I noticed the mask. Our sensei had a dark blue mask tied diagonally over his face, hiding his right eye, his nose, and his mouth. It was basically his entire face that was held captured by the mask. But why would he have a mask?

We all went to a spot overlooking the village. The sensei told us that we were going to introduce each other before we did any training or whatever.

"Can't you give some examples first? So that we know how to do it?" Both Naruto and Sakura pleaded. The sensei nodded.

"All right, all right, calm down. Ok. My name is Hatake, Kakashi. I don't feel like sharing with you anything about myself." He smiled. "Ok, yellow-head, your up first."

Naruto wore a glum expression for a short moment before putting on a wide smile and practically jumping out of his seat. He wiped his shoulders and exclaimed, "I am Uzamaki Naruto! My hobbies are pranks and practical jokes I guess,..-" Figures." - I love instant ramen and really like it when Iruka-sensei treats me to ramen at the Ichiraku Noodle Bar! I hate it waiting for my ramen to finish cooking, all I want to do is chow down on it, not wait for a Whole 3 minutes! -" Kakashi blankly stared and thought, 'All he thinks about is ramen,…'

" -and my dream is to become Hokage and be even better than Lord Hokage himself. Then everyone will look up to me and treat me fairly for once." Naruto was beaming. I thought it was a pretty impressive dream compared to others.

Sakura sneered. "Pshh, as if That'll happen." She folded her arms and rolled her eyes at Naruto.

Kakashi had a thoughtful look on his face, Naruto had surely surprised him and the rest of the group. Then he chuckled, "That was, interesting, Naruto." Then he turned to look at Sakura. "As for you, pinky, if you think your dream is better than why don't you go first." It wasn't a yes or no question or answer.

But she was suddenly daydreaming and oblivious to everything else happening around her. 'Wow, that was fast. But she's probably thinking about Sasuke.' I rolled my eyes and scowled at her, I reached over behind Sasuke and whacked the back of her head. Too bad her eyes weren't crossed at the moment.

She jumped and rubbed the back of her head. "What?" Kakashi looked at her expectantly. "Oh, uh,.." She paused. "I'm Haruno Sakura. My hobbies are, to uh, -" She glanced at Sasuke with a sly smile on her face. Once again, I scowled even further. This year was going to be Extremely annoying. "- my dream is to,…" her voice trailed off as Sasuke glared at her. 'Wow.'

Kakashi looked up as he sighed deeper than I thought possible. He rubbed his forehead thinking, 'Apparently girls her age only think more about boys than ninjutsu or training. I wonder how Sasuke could stand so much as to not flick her in between the eyes.'

The next person he called on was Sasuke.

"I am Uchiha Sasuke. I hate many things- " He said this and glanced at Sakura, making her cower in defeat. "- and I don't like much of anything. My hobbies are down to zero and I have sworn to avenge my clan, and kill-" Sakura gasped. I was slightly shocked, Sasuke did kind of fit the assassin description. "- someone."

Kakashi glumly looked at the sky and then to me, possibly hoping that I would share something not quite as idiotic and strange as the other three. I sighed and began my part of this 'thrilling' introduction about myself to everyone. "Ok then, I am Hikaru Amiko. I too want to avenge and kill like Mr.-I-Hate-Everything over here. My hobbies are to study and practice the ninja arts whenever I can and to master them as fast as possible. I strongly dislike preppy girls- "I glared at Sakura. " - who freak out easily and people who mope around. And what I like are my hobbies, which I've just explained so, um, you can take it from here?"

Sakura was glaring at me, Naruto was wide-eyed, and Sasuke wore the same expression as Naruto, yet still holding that glare.

"That's different, Amiko. Well today we will be doing a Survival Exercise. The exercise will test your abilities and you are all most likely to fail." Kakashi smiled under his mask. Everyone groaned. Naruto started to have a fit. "What! We already learned survival skills- " I cocked my head to the side and stated, "I didn't." Naruto looked at me like I was crazy.

Kakashi told us where to meet him for the training, then vanished in a shower of leaves and smoke. We all went home, pondering on why he told us to not eat breakfast the next day. Naruto grumbled and complained.
